Well a reluctant 9am start saw us all head to Big Sky Harley Davidson to pick up our bikes and as per usual the dealership didnt have anything ready. An hour later of filling out paperwork our bikes were presented to us. yep...Remember the hard time you got Colby for having a "pink 'bike...Well this year its Rogers turn ...A nice pink Triglide! Back to the motel we went to pack up and fit up the deer whistle Wayne had kindly lent lent us and wire up Ipods etc. At about 1pm we headed off to St Mary in Glacier National Park. As usual we were presented with the stunning scenery of the rockies although the snow content was considerably less this year. Arrival at St Mary was around dinner time. We had a booking for a TeePee and a standard room which we drew names out of a hat for. Roger and myself won that so it was off to bed...Just off to sleep and then a Bear Attack!...Yep it was Gel and Graham playing up making all the noises of a bear and pawing at our tent. back to sleep at last and prepare for our trip to Canada the next morning.

The Trip Over
Well here we are day 8 into our trip and its the first real chance Ive had to submit to the blog. Our days our long and tiring...usually a 6.30am get up and pack...on the road by 7.30am and ride until around 5pm. By this time we are generally quite shagged and hence the delay in doing this...Ive been getting flack at this end to send you guys some updates so here we go!
Wednesday 28th August:-
We all arrived at Gisborne Airport armed in our T shirts ready for the trip over.....Twenty Eight hours later we arrived in Great Falls Montana at 11.30pm having flown via San Francisco and Denver...Our T Shirts really were getting some attention throughout the trip!
We were kindly met at the airport by our friend "OX" who is a Kiwi living in Gt Falls. I got the usual stick about how much crap I'd bought and however was I going to fit it all on the bike! (Anyway that poor bugger is getting married the following Saturday). Well by 12pm we were checked in and bed bound totatally exhausted.
